AMD Launches Its 2nd Gen EPYC 7Fx2 CPUs With Highest Per-Core Performance – Achieved With Upgrades In Every Category, Featuring Double The L3 Cache

AMD and Intel have been trading blows in the server market, which AMD has been gaining an advantage with the EPYC due to the friendlier pricing from AMD. This has forced Intel to cut the price of the Cascade Lake Refresh processors. AMD has taken this battle and flipped it on its head, taking it in another direction. Today, AMD unveiled three new processors, the 2nd Gen EPYC 7Fx2 series which is optimized for frequency and delivers the fastest per-core performance in the x86 server workspace environment.
All of this is looking to take the market by storm, challenging Intel's position at the fastest per core server processor. Thanks to an increase in base frequency by 500MHz and some extra L3 cache, the processors have increased performance and can do tasks such as rotational databases, high-performance computing (HPC), and hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) applications with relative ease compared to the competition. The silicon used for these chips has been premium binned, which gives AMD the best possible chips to put in the processors.
